Gestures we make with our hands and their meaning in different countries

By: daniela - 21 November 2017, 10:27

Compartir en Facebook

Each culture is used to certain gestures and movements to communicate, but not in all cultures these, have the same meaning, sometimes what for us can be perfectly understandable in other countries is misinterpreted or vice versa. Our body language helps us communicate more easily without using words. These are some gestures that are used in various countries of the world, but they have totally different meanings in each of them. If you are planning a trip, this can help you understand other cultures better.

Pointing something

Google.

The gesture of pointing with the index finger is believed and seen as very impolite gesture. However, it is one of the first gestures we learn in life and use the most. Usually, it works to point objects or indicate a location in the western countries.

Pointing in the Middle East

Google.

Extending a finger and pointing with it, is considered impolite by many cultures, but especially in the Middle East, as it is seen as a great lack of respect to any person who is designated. For this reason they usually keep their hands behind them.

Crossing fingers

Google.

Crossing fingers has become a very popular gesture, especially among young people and children. This simple gesture can have different meanings depending on the context, although the main and most popular around the planet is to wish luck.

Crossing your fingers in Vietnam

Google.

Crossing fingers in Vietnam has a totally different meaning to the previous one. It is a sign that is considered rough because it refers to a part of the female body. So you know, don’t try to ask for good luck in Vietnam.

O.K.

Google.

In this gesture the tips of the index finger and the thumb are touching each other and the remaining three fingers stay vertical. This sign means "good or excellent" in the United States and Latin American countries.

The variation of meaning in other countries

Google.

In Germany it can be a way of telling someone that he has lost his mind, in Greece it is used to refer to a body part and considered obscene and in France it is used to indicate a zero or valueless amount.

The letter V with your fingers

Google.

Sign V is a gesture in which the index and middle fingers are lifted apart, while the other fingers remain closed. It has several meanings, depending on the cultural context in which it occurs. Fundamentally it is used as: the letter "V" of "victory".

It cannot be used in any country

Google.

In Canada, New Zealand, Australia or Ireland, it can not be used as they consider it rude. They use it as a symbol of challenging authority.

Thumbs up

Google.

In many Latin American countries they use it to say that everything is good or excellent. This one is one of the signs we learn since we were little children. Using it, you don’t need even a word to be understood.

Variations of meaning

Google.

In the Middle East this sign is an insult. They are very reserved and any gesture can be taken as disrespectful. People are not used to communicating with so many signs.

Call someone with your finger

Google.

Extending a finger and then moving it towards oneself in the United States is an invitation to approach that person.

Other meanings

Google.

But not in all cultures is considered or seen in the same way. This includes the Middle East, Portugal, Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines where it is only used to call dogs and people who practice prostitution.

Call with the full hand

Google.

This gesture is used usually and only between people who know each other to call the other one or telling somebody to approach them.

Other meaning

Google.

Depending on the area you are in, especially neighborhoods, if used with strangers is a sign of challenge and invitation to fight, so it is preferable that you do not make use of it. In the Philippines they use it only to call dogs, if you call somebody using this gesture, he or she would feel very offended.

Rock sign

Google.

Extending the little finger and thumb while bending the rest can mean different things. This is a common sign for rock lovers and is considered a gesture of joy and enjoyment for music. In Hawaii it symbolizes a welcome.

Other meanings

Google.

In some parts of Africa it is considered a curse, while for Spaniards and Italians it is a sign of being cheated.

Handshake

Google.

Most countries in the world consider this gesture as a symbol of cordiality no mattering if it is between men or women. It is a body movement used to greet or reach an agreement with someone else.

Other meaning

Google.

However in Saudi Arabia, if a woman shakes a man's hand it means that she agrees to have sex with him. Therefore in this country this gesture is not well seen and you should be careful if you are visiting for the first time.

Slap on the shoulder

Google.

This gesture varies a lot and depending on how it is done, can change its meaning. It is usually used to encourage or transmit confidence to people close to you.

Other meaning

Google.

The meaning changes depending on the strength or speed with which it takes place and if it happens between strangers, which can become an aggressive gesture in any cultural context.

This day characterizes by the energy of growth, the desire to achieve all our goals when we seek to be the best version of ourselves. We can’t take advantage of this energy when we are full of negativity and apathy; this is one of the reasons why Monday is everyone’s least favorite day.

Friday (Yesod)

This day is full of the forgiveness energy, for others and for oneself. To accomplish this forgiveness we must admit our mistakes without blaming anybody else, learn from any failure and amend all that is wrong. The energy of this day wants us to be thankful, even for the negative things.

Saturday (Malkhut)

On this day we can feel the energy of light, but only when we are merciful and helpful towards others. Saturday is a very special day because it is the last day of the week and we are ready to start a new one.

25 easy cleaning tricks you must know

By: carloscrc - 15 March 2016, 00:42

Compartir en Facebook

We don’t know about you, but for us, cleaning is sometime the bane of our existance and one of the most annoying parts of adulting. But as it needs to be done, we thought we could find out if we could make our lives easier and find some hacks or tricks that will expedite things. These tricks tackle some of the most strenous cleaning tasks and will not only save you time, but money.

So get ready and take out your baking soda, and your vinegar (who knew that is all it takes?!), as here are 25 super easy cleaning tricks everyone should know. Your inner clean freak (and your overall health!) will thank you profusely.

1. The Oven

YouTube

Cleaning the oven is a great challenge to begin. However, do not panic. Carefully place a bowl of ammonia, half of the container, in the oven and let stand overnight. Do not light the oven. The next day the dirt can removed as if it is butter.

2. Clean the shower head

YouTube

Fill a plastic bag with white vinegar and wrap the solution around the shower head. Leave it overnight and clean in the morning. Blessed remedy!

3. Say Goodbye to Burned Pans

YouTube

Add a cup of white vinegar to your dirty pot or frying pan and heat pan in oven for a few minutes. Then add two tablespoons of baking soda. Try scrubbing now!

4. The Dishwasher

YouTube

Even the dishwasher needs cleaning sometimes. Fill a bowl with white vinegar and place it in the top rack of the dishwasher. Program your dishwasher on the hottest cycle. Then sprinkle some baking soda in the lower sections and run it on another hot cycle (no need to be so long this time) and you’re done!

5. Clean your Blender

YouTube

It may sound obvious, but you’d be surprised how many people do not think of cleaning it. Fill the blender with warm water and soap and you’re ready. Just like new!

6. Clean Splashes Around the Stove

YouTube

It may sound counterintuitive, but next time that the kitchen remains bathed in oil splashes, you can remove them by placing a few drops of vegetable oil on a paper towel and wiping the entire surface. Wipe again with a dry paper towel. Bright and shiny.

7. The Ceiling Fan Doesn’t Escape

YouTube

A dirty pillowcase can help you clean the blades of the ceiling fan. Place a cover on each blade and turn on the fan. All the dirt will remain inside the sleeves instead of falling on the floor.

8. Unclogging the Sink

YouTube

This is possible the most bothersome task after cleaning the drain of the tub. But from now on this task will never be easier. Add 4 tablets of Alka-Seltzer and 1 cup of white vinegar into the drain. Rinse the drain after 10 minutes with boiling water and say goodbye to dirt.

9. Silverware Like New

iStock

To polish your cutlery and silverware, take some foil and cover the inside of a tray or similar container. Add ½-cup salt, ½ cup of baking soda and warm water. Place the silverware into the mixture and let stand for half an hour.

10. Remove the Grease

YouTube

No matter where grease has been imprinted (walls, clothes, table, etc.), this trick works on any surface. Rub chalk on the affected area, and let sit for a few minutes. Finish by rubbing all chalk off with a damp towel. Say goodbye to grease!

11. Those dusty corners …

YouTube

… And those corners where the broom won’t reach are no longer a problem thanks to absorbent wipes, similar to interlining. It’s true, use one of these wipes to get rid of dust along the walls, on the floor sockets and the corners. It not only removes the current dust, but also protects the surface in the future. Why? Thanks to the static electricity produced by rubbing.

12. Time to Disinfect the Sponge

YouTube

Although a sponge to clean the cutlery will not get you into bankruptcy, sometimes you do not have time to go buy a new one. So simply place the sponge in the microwave for a couple of minutes. Upon removal, 99% of germs are dead.

13. The hairs on Your Pet Are No Longer a Bother

YouTube

Brooms are the decoy in this story. Who really does all the work here is the squeegee, such as ones for cleaning glass. This squeegee will remove even the most stubborn hairs of your pet, quickly gathering them in a hairy mess.

14. Super Clean the Mattress

YouTube

I never imagined this way to clean a mattress. Enter vodka … yes, vodka … in a spray bottle and spray the surface on which you sleep. After drying, odors are eliminated and most bacteria too.

15. Forget the Stains on the “Pyrex”

YouTube

To get rid of dirt in glassware, all you need is a ball of foil covered with a little detergent. And I used a whole package steel wool.

16. Cleaning the Coffee Grinder

YouTube

This task had already left more than one with the occasional cut. Well, it’s easy, first grind a little raw rice (to remove odors), then grind a tablespoon of baking soda and finally continue on to clean it. Simple.

17. The Super Sock

YouTube

With the help of an old sock half submerged in a little water and white vinegar, we can easily clean accumulated dust on any surface, nook or cranny. It is especially good for cleaning window blinds.

18. Wet shoes

YouTube

You arrive at the office or at home after a storm. To dry quickly your shoes, place a bag of uncooked rice inside pieces of newspaper and place inside of your shoes. In one hour, you will find your shoes to be dry.

19. Stains on the Carpet

YouTube

The next time you see an ugly stain on the carpet do not panic. Fill a spray bottle with water and vinegar (ratio of 2-1). Spray the affected area with the mixture and then place a damp cloth over the area. Pass a hot iron immediately (steam setting) over the damp cloth for about 1 minute. If it is a stubborn stain it will take a little longer, but eventually the carpet will be free of stains.

20. Vomit

YouTube

Vomiting on any surface literally sucks, but there is also a very effective trick to get rid of … it. First mix baking soda with water until you are left with a pasty substance. Spread the solution thoroughly onto the vomit to cover completely over the disaster. Let the solution sit overnight and vacuum it up in the morning and it will look as if nothing happened.

21. Broken Glass

YouTube

I never would have thought of this! To pick up smaller pieces of glass, just press a piece of bread on the floor (in the area where the glass was broken, of course). I would have saved many cuts.

22. Rejuvenate your Leather

YouTube

Like we do to polish our shoes until they are like a mirror, bitumen also becomes a great ally when we shine our chairs and any surface made from horn.

23. Cleaning the Air Conditioning Duct

YouTube

It is the same idea of the super sock, but smaller and thinner. After soaking a cloth with water and white vinegar, wrap the cloth around a butter knife to clean the openings of the air conditioner.

24. Electrical and Mixtec Grill

YouTube

After you are finished cooking, remove the grill and place wet towels over it. Close the lid and let the steam and heat combine to clean the entire surface. I hope that you can do something similar with the grill drum.

25. A Bathroom Cleaner Than Ever!

YouTube

The next time you’re faced with the obligation to clean the toilet / bath, cut a grapefruit in half and sprinkle some salt onto each of the halves. Rub both halves on the surface to treat it and then rinse, leaving a clean and rich citrus scent.

Procrastination, big and long word, right? Well, if you are a big procrastinator I think there might be some things you should know to overcome it. As the time goes on and on, lots of things are finishing: work, studies etc. This means there are also things starting as well, or maybe things you want to start.

Fear, only paralyze us, it’s our worst enemy. Here are some handy tips that will allow you to effectively move forward and achieve your goals.

Try to understand the cause

Make a list of things to do

It can sound silly or even too simple to solve the problem. However, it’s one of the most effective tools to organize yourself. Start with things you think you can achieve. That, will give you confidence to get everything else done without stressing yourself out.

Think of your goals and picture yourself achieving them

Google.

Rethink your final goals, and remember why you are doing it. If you forget them, everything ends up making no sense at all, that is why we mostly start procrastinating. We forget our final goals and get stressed and sad because of not achieving them. So, the thing is, what are you trying to achieve? And then you think, well, how can I achieve that? In that order, nothing can end up wrong!

Environment

Google.

This is one of the most important things while working. Another thing that can sound silly as the list. However, it is definitely not a silly thing. Just think of it: our environment is the physical place where we create things. How can we create if the place where we are doesn’t inspire us sufficiently? Well, should compare it to clothes for example. Something that is completely attached to feelings. A place that inspires you, helps you create better and most interesting things.

Don’t overwhelm yourself

Google.

This title speaks for itself. If you try to overcome procrastination scheduling each hour of the day with work, you will not do your best at all. It will happen exactly the opposite thing. You’ll get overwhelmed with everything without even achieving one thing. You should instead, work half of your day and keep the other half free. Well, at least to start…

Stop your head from thinking in unachievable goals

Google.

When you are starting a project or something in particular and can’t stop thinking of where would you be in the end of the process you’ll miss the path. To achieve a big goal, you first need to overcome lots of small obstacles, if you don’t do that, getting to the end will be no easy task. Is like trying to win a race, starting from the end. It doesn’t make any sense, does it?

Short breaks

Google.

It’s perfect to make short breaks so that your head doesn’t get too tired. You need to think the best ways to take advantage of your head when its 100% working. However, there must be an estimated time of your breaks before starting them. This is because sometimes those short breaks turn into endless recesses that end up being your procrastination.

Help yourself

Google.

Don’t make procrastination a problem that needs more procrastination to solve it. Let me explain myself. When you ask for help because you don’t know how to overcome procrastination, sometimes what you are doing is just postponing your goals. You sometimes, need to solve your problems yourself, sit down and start trying to achieve your goals. When you do that, it will feel so much better! I can definitely assure that!

Don’t be too hard on yourself

Google.

If you mess up.... Don’t be too hard on yourself, don’t get too sad. It will not help you at all. That will prevent you from fixing the problem and start over with a cleaner head.

Reward progress

Google.

If you achieved lots of goals. You should be proud of yourself. Reward progress and don’t feel like is just something that was supposed to happen. Do something that makes you happy so that you feel that all that effort is worth it.

Be ready to overcome obstacles

Google.

If you are afraid of falling again in procrastination’s hands. Just makes another list with things that can possibly make you fall. Then, you’ll be ready to overcome any of those problems in advance.

Don’t be afraid of sharing

Google.

If you are not entirely sure of what you are doing, why not show it to someone else? That will help you look at your work from other perspectives and not staying in your own thoughts.

Change your work space

Pinterest.

Sometimes to clear your head and work on some new ideas you also need to change your everyday work space. In my case, having breakfast somewhere else keeps my mind from stagnancy.

Routine

Google.

It doesn’t have to be a rigid routine; it can change every day. However, having it helps your mental constancy. Sometimes you need it to keep on going. Constancy is one of the most important things for success and one of the things that first makes us fail.

Comparison

Google.

Don’t compare yourself to the rest. It’s perfect to admire other people but instead of being jealous, why not looking up how did they achieve their goals? Or maybe first looking up what their goal was. Something very common is getting jealous of somebody that doesn’t even have your own goal which means that you’ll never get where they are. So, you should first get your ideas straight and then look up to other people.

Money

Google.

If you are working on something that is giving you money. Keep on betting on your project, invest what you are earning. This, will help the growth of the project which will also make you happy in the end.

Priorities

Google.

At this point I guess you are probably aware of my fanaticism with lists. So here I am, proposing that you make a list of priorities. Why this is important? Well, it will definitely help you achieve one task at a time. when your head is thinking of everything at the same time, results are worst. You should separate things by the priority they have.
